Reviews of Dartmouth Bowlarama Entertainment Centre (Bowling Alley)

Mark1JT

Decent bowling alley. Their glow bowling was too much bowling and too little glow. My rented shoes looked like hobo Sam wore them riding the rails across Canada. Staff was friendly though.

The Magic Cartoon

Best bowling alley

Neil MacKinnon

Robby Innes

Mary Nash & Philip Shannon

Very curtious staff and clean facilities

Nanine Murray

Better book in advance in order to save tourwelf some waiting time. Bowling is as popukar as it always has been and theres no shirtage of people playing. Great spot with hot food and cold drinks and lots of lanes for bowling. Great place for family, friends and fun!

Ben McCarthy

Good convenient location off hwy 111 (Circumferential). Nice location with a small arcade. I recommend to call ahead, as lanes can be booked for leagues. Friendly staff. Food and beverages available for purchase.

Donald Howard

I've been here a few times. Fun bowling. They're totally unorganized when they get half busy, can't tell you if there's lanes available or not or when one may come available. If you're going - reserve a lane. The arcade games need a little TLC.

Jonathan Roberts

Birthdays are always great

Lisa Marie MacPhee

In these crazy times of Covid, we still managed to have a little family birthday party for our youngest at this Bowlarama location. The staff did an amazing job keeping the place safe and clean. They took all our temperatures as we came in (fantastic), were super friendly and put the black lights on for the party. We all wore our masks and had a great time. I’d recommend this location to anyone. Thanks for the awesome time! ????

Karthik Palem

when you want to do something in and around HRM and outdoors is not an option then this is tour goto place. Decent location with ample parking and ample bowling lanes. Call ahead sometimes they habe leagues or charity events going on. Overall it's a good place to hangout with large group of friends.

Makaila Murphy

candy was exp but staff gave us 500 tickets instead of 150

Marc LeLacheur

I attended a birthday party for some young kids and the staff were very patient and understanding with them, while there were one or two other parties going on too. I commend them for that. The place also has a classic ticket arcade (play games, get tickets, claim prizes), and coolest of all are the windows at the end of the arcade that let you look at the bowling pin mechanisms as they're running! Very cool.

Tina Boutilier

This was fun.

Chad Polegatto

Stephen A MacDonald

Hey! Think Back to the 70s and 80s, and how bowling alley's used to get robbed all of the time... I guess it was an easy score, there was only ever like 2 employees in this gigantic space, loud and full of excitement. Lots of dough. We did things differently back then before cellular, wifi, it used to be all closed captioning and everyone being jealous of 2Pac's army style, long range mobile phone with long antennae.

Kim Burrows

Loved it! Staff is super accommodating! So much fun!

Jason Barnes

Wonderful place to take the family and or friends for some great fun. Awesome staff and nice clean place

John Paul Handrigan

I bowled here on a recent trip to Dartmouth. Went with a bunch of kids. Place was well equipped to handle them. Even put the gutter protectors up on a lane. Bowling alley has a snack bar, arcade and a bunch of seating. Lots of parking space available. I wish the pricing was a little clearer up front. Regardless, it didn't turn out to be all that expensive for our group. Overall, everyone had a great time.

Kristal Sampson

It's a bowling alley, it is what it is.

Madhav Dihora

FYI: whenever you plan to visit - confirm the opening hours twice or thrice with store. I had an experience today- when we called them they said closing time is : 10.30 but when we buy an hour for 2 lane they said before 15 min that we are closing at 9.00 in 15 min - that’s totally unfair. Also on Google it says it’s closing at 11.30 P I would say think twice before visit.

Glenn Esau

Amazing staff, amazing prices

Adam Hall (Kain)

Was very crowded but there were 3 parties going on including ours. Many arcade games didn't work as expected and some children were seen being visibly disappointed.

Jennifer Peddle

We had an excellent experience having our daughter's birthday party here. The staff were excellent!

Jamie Dunn

Nice atmosphere

Greg VanSlyke

Everything a bowling alley should be. Not very fancy or modern and a little garish. Cosmic bowling at 11am? My 3 year loved it. They seem to do a lot of weekend birthdays for kids.

shelbiehuard

Cute place. Only small ball bowling. I wish they didn’t place customers on lanes right next to each other when the place is empty. Service was nice though. Decent price per hour.

Jazzy Doucette-Russell

Prizes are junk for all the money the kids spend in the arcade

Terry Crombie

Very loud, very packed. The kids had fun.

C.

Good family fun

D Bowden

Brought my kids there for a March Break activity. Good time! Exercise, relatively inexpensive but more expensive since changing the format from paying by the string to paying by the hour. They loved playing the arcade.

Brad Fraser

Clean, friendly, well managed.

Jeff Murphy

Helena Kaizer

Fun place - kids love it. Great family outing.

Faren Graham

It was ok

Jay Perry

Be nice to see some regular, big ball, bowling as well, instead of everything being candle stick everywhere. I mean I'm sure there's be more than enough interest to fill at least a couple lanes...

Place is a busy spot .. lots of fun

Ruth Seigel

Great alley! Onion rings were delicious, and the arcade had some neat prizes.

Lisa Burns

Seems they only cater to leagues. It would be a 5 star if they left a couple of lanes designated to public walk ins.

Christopher benkeal

The short chubby woman working in the VLT section provided the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I will make sure to pass that information along to friends and family.

Greg MacDonald

I took some kids to this bowling alley yesterday and we had alot of fun! Very clean and friendly staff! The boys loved the gaming area as well!

steve tober

I mean, its exactly what youd expect from a Bowlarama. Not that that is a bad thing. Staff was super friendly, and no one judges my families poor bowling skills. Its a fun hour or two, and Charger and Krave are right down the road.

Diana Quinn

My co- workers and I just had our holiday party at your location and we couldn't have had a better time ! Helpful, friendly staff , and an upbeat and fun atmosphere , made for a fantastic time . Everyone agreed that it was the best holiday party we had all attended in a very long time . Thanks for the fantastic time full of great memories ????

On October 26th we had my sons birthday at the Bowlarama. It was his first real birthday party! The staff were extremely accommodating and friendly. They made us feel they really appreciated us being there. The kids had a blast and when we, the parents weren't the most organized at times, the staff totally picked up the slack for us. we were so impressed, we'll likely have another birthday party there next year. thank you!!

L B.

Great space for the family to come and have fun for a few strings. A little more expensive than I remember (isn't everything?), and about 1/3 of their arcade machines weren't working. We all still had a great time and I'm sure we'll be back!
